Support for Debian stretch?
Closed this issue · 16 comments
Is support for Debian stretch coming or on the roadmap?
Would be great to know if there is any plan for Nginx for Stretch, same as for PHP 7, or we should search alternative methods.
Yes, would be really nice to know.
+1
"other Dotdeb packages are unaffected by this decision and I’ll keep providing them for the current stable & oldstable distributions."
so I think we can expect nginx ?
Anyone has update on this ? We use dotdeb nginx on most of our servers and really missing them since upgraded to stretch
Thank you
First of all, thanks for your patience.
Since
- Stretch already includes Nginx 1.10 with full HTTP2 support and most of modules that Dotdeb provides (see their debian/rules)
- Stretch-backports provides Nginx 1.13 (see its debian/rules)
... I don't really have plans for Nginx on Stretch. Is there anything missing from the above packages?

@gplessis aio
@gplessis Auth LDAP
Stretch. Is there anything missing from the above packages?
Push Stream
Any news on this?
For PHP
Use https://deb.sury.org/ for Debian Stretch, if you want a newer PHP version. Eg. create a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
(eg. with the name php.list
) containing:
deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ stretch main
Execute: apt update && apt install php7.1
. Which gives you currently v7.1.13.
For Nginx
Use Debian backports (enable deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main
in your sources.list
file), execute: sudo apt install nginx -t stretch-backports
. Which gives you currently Nginx v1.13.3.
Good that @Danger89 ignored the mentioned requests for pagespeed
, aio
, Auth LDAP
, Push Stream
and doubled the answers of @gplessis and @rockyluke with only some more details ^^ (sorry, couldn't resist to remark this).
To be complete also NGINX itselfs offers Open Source packages:
https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/installing-nginx-open-source/#prebuilt_debian
NGINX and Debian packages are compiled with module support.
But neither Debian nor NGINX repositories have the nice amount of modules included as DotDeb had on Jessie even the Debian nginx-extras
package automatically installs all supplied libnginx-mod-*
modules except libnginx-mod-rtmp
. And NGINX offers only some basic ones in Open Source version:
# grep ^Package: /var/lib/apt/lists/nginx.org_packages_mainline_debian_dists_stretch_nginx_binary-amd64_Packages | uniq | grep -v dbg
Package: nginx
Package: nginx-module-geoip
Package: nginx-module-image-filter
Package: nginx-module-njs
Package: nginx-module-perl
Package: nginx-module-xslt
Package: nginx-nr-agent
Because there is no final answer given for the question/requests here an idea for a slim but helpful DotDeb support of additional NGINX functionality if not too complicated to setup/build:
=> Is it possible to offer only the additional modules for NGINX versions for stretch / stretch-backports which could be ideally also acceptable for several subversions like security updates of NGINX which didn't need the recompile of the module itself?
Didn't know much about NGINX compiles, but for Apache 1, 2, 2.2 and 2.4 it was/is working great... ;)
Hi all,
sorry for the very late answer. I have no plan to maintain Nginx packages beyond Jessie.
As mentioned above, builds from Nginx, Debian backports or even packages from deb.sury.org would help you to keep your Nginx servers up-to-date.
is anyone from above provide more_headers module for stretch?
